When does the space maintainer get removed?

When does the space maintainer get removed?

We recommend your child has regular dental visits so the eruption of the permanent tooth can be monitored. The space maintainer is then removed once the permanent tooth starts to come in and fills the space left by the missing baby tooth. 

 
Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
